Justice Not Served: Family of Victim Slain by Illegal Immigrant Blasts U.S. ‘Negligence’ for Not Enforcing Own LawsIt’s been more than two years since Jesse Benavides was gunned down at a family birthday party in Dallas by a man who never should have been on U.S. streets. Santana Gaona had been in jail less than two months earlier for allegedly raping and beating his estranged wife. He was flagged as an illegal immigrant and scheduled for deportation. Despite a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement “detainer” that had been placed on Gaona, requiring him to face a deportation hearing, ICE officials canceled the order and he was released from jail. In 2011, a federal law enforcement officer confirmed that Gaona had been an informant for multiple federal agencies, including the FBI, which was responsible for his release. The official said Gaona showed no signs of being a violent criminal and there was no reason to believe he would have committed murder. Benavides, 33, was trying to stop a fight between Gaona and Gaona’s estranged wife when he was shot in front of his 8-year-old son.

Illegal immigrant kills his cellmate to get free meals and avoid being deported FLORENCE, Ariz. — A Mexican citizen illegally in the United States killed a prison cellmate in order to remain in custody, the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office said. The Sheriff’s Office said it is recommending that prosecutors charge 43-year-old Roberto Venegas-Fernandez with first-degree murder in the Nov. 16 killing of 55-year-old Michael Patrick McNaughton. Both men were prisoners of the U.S. Marshals Service, which has said they were from the San Diego area and housed at a Corrections Corp. of America prison in Florence pending their transfer to the Bureau of Prisons. The killing occurred during what was initially reported as a fight between the two men. However, Sheriff Paul Babeu said Venegas-Fernandez told investigators that he choked and stomped McNaughton because “he likes it in prison and was afraid of being released, since he has nowhere to go.” Records indicated that Venegas-Fernandez had been deported to Mexico on Jan. 26, 1998.

Federal death penalty trial delayedIt will now be at least mid-March before a man charged with killing two Bessemer bank tellers and wounding two others during a robbery in 2007 could face a federal judge and jury. Eva Loveland Hudson and Sheila McWaine Prevo were killed at the Wachovia Bank branch in Bessemer. Two other bank tellers, Anita Siler Gordon and Latoya Shaniece Freeman were wounded.

If Merriweather is convicted, federal prosecutors expect to ask for the death penalty. In February, 2013, federal judge David Proctor issued an order stating Merriweather was competent. Once trial does begin, it is expected to take up to two months to try.
